If it does not contain any apple or pear juice then it should be fine although as mentioned before it contains some xylitol which is a sugar alcohol.

blueberries have xylitol naturally?

I buy scotch mints that contain sugar, glucose syrup, natural peppermint flavour, gelatin, color and tragaganth gum. I buy them at the $1.00 store for a $1.00 for 128 grams (8 oz).

I sometimes eat laurel-drops, made of pure liquorice root. It seems to be ok for me. It should not be eaten in large quantities, because of high blood pressure (but mine is always low).
Pure berry juice (black&blueberries) is not ok for me. Are there other berries that should be fine (w/o xylitol I guess?)

Xylitol is found in very small amounts in berries. For example, raspberries contain aboput 2.6 mg/100 grams or 0.3% and it is unlikely to present any problems. Apples, pears and peaches contain considerably more xylitol which may present problems for some.

Ok, so it probably wasn't the xylitol. I made some 'yam'/jelly from the juice, and I got very bad stomach pain. Like I get when I eat fructose. But I thought the fructose:glucose ratio is less than 1 in berries?
Last week I tried peaches (pureed) and that seemed to go pretty well. I did not have much more stomach pain than usual, perhaps a tiny bit nausea...
Pff, I really don't understand much of my IBS! I guess it's just trial and error with most food..

Interesting! I make jelly from a mixture of frozen berries composed of raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Also, I make a juice concentrate from it to use on oatmeal and in sauces. I have never had problems. However, I do have to be careful to make sure all of the pulp is removed. Berries pulp and seeds are a big problem for me.
You are fortunate that peaches are okay for you. While it does not have excess fructose like most stone fruits it contains sorbitol and some other sugar alcohols which can be a problem for some.
Yea - while there are some good guidelines but there is also a lot of trial and error involved too.

It was just a bottle of juice I bought in the grocery shop. W/o any pulp and absolutely no additives. Just pure (concentrated?) blue+blackberry-juice. It would have been perfectly.. They also sell it from red currant (?), but I haven't tried that one yet. I guess that'll be too sour for my stomach...?
The peaches I'm not totally sure about yet, since I did get a bit nauseous after a few days of eating it. But perhaps one serving of yam per day or every other day will be fine...? I don't really like peaches, but till now it's the only fruit next to bananas that seemes the be pretty ok. (I'm getting pretty fed up with bananas )

Maybe it could be a combination of what you are eating throuhout the day and having the berries may just set it over the edge? I think if Im very strict with everything else then I can have a little juice but some days I can't. I think it has to do with what else Im eating, how much sugar, fructans, fructose..Like some days OJ doesnt bother me other times it really does.

Funny coincidence, I'm trying smoothies with peaches and bananas w/ sugar free vanilla almond milk. It's pretty good! I got a Ninja blender and it rocks.
I want to use blueberries but I'm with SYL, don't like the pulp. I may have to try some of the juice instead.

I'm not worrying about the fructose right now. But I was wondering if blueberry preserves or jam would still have antioxidants? I'm going to do less on the whole fruits and try it on crackers sometimes.
Thx!

All colored veggies and fruits contain antioxidants Cooking veggies and fruits can actually increase the amount of antioxidants that are available. For example, cooking tomatoes releases lycopene. Cooking carrots and zucchini releases carotenoid.

just to reiterate, in general, even if we didn't have IBS, I am right in thinking that cooking makes nutrients more accessible, ie cooked fruit is better than raw fruit (calls into question the real nutritional value of paleo diets?), with only one exception: vitamin C?!

Not sure you can generalize to all nutrients. Cooking does destroys vitamin C but it does make some antioxidants more accessible. Also B vitamins and C are water soluble so they can dissolved and washed away during food preparation.

thanks. oops, I forgot about B vitamins.
probably not wise to boil fish or chicken then. tastes awful that way anyhow.
well anyway, I eat no vegetable raw except for the occasional cucumber and even fruits, not many. apart from peaches/(dried) apricots/cherries. the red berries I often eat with oats I actually cook into the oats!
